- As display devices are being developed toward high resolution and high definition, color reproducibility thereof has been improved. Since a color reproduction area that can be expressed by a display device, that is, a color gamut, varies depending on the characteristics of the display device, a color gamut mapping process for compressing a color gamut of an input image according to the characteristics of the display device or for extending the color gamut is required.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a color gamut mapping method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, andFIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a color gamut mapping device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. - The color gamut mapping method illustrated in
FIG. 1 may include a preprocessing operation S10, a color space conversion operation S20, a hue angle calculation operation S30, a hue axis selection operation S40, a parameter calculation operation S50, a saturation control operation S60, a hue control operation S70, an overall control operation S80, and a color space inverse conversion operation S90. - A color
gamut mapping device 600 illustrated inFIG. 2 may include apreprocessor 10, acolor space converter 20, ahue calculator 30, a hueaxis selection unit 40, aparameter calculator 50, asaturation controller 60, ahue controller 70, anoverall controller 80, and a colorspace inverse converter 90. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , thepreprocessor 10 may perform the preprocessing operation S10 of correcting white balance of an input image, extracting gray areas from the input image, and extracting a brightness value of the input image. Meanwhile, thepreprocessor 10 may extract gray areas and a brightness value from an image whose white balance is corrected. - As input image signals, RGB-type image signals (hereinafter, red (R), green (G), and blue (B) signals) respectively representing red, green, and blue image signals may be used.
- The
preprocessor 10 may first correct the white balance of the input image by applying preset correction gains to the R, G, and B signals of the input image for each color. - The
preprocessor 10 may extract the gray areas from the corrected R, G, and B signals and allow the gray areas which are extracted during color gamut mapping processing to be exceptionally processed so that there is no change in luminance, hue, and saturation (S10). - For example, the
preprocessor 10 may compare a maximum value max{abs(R−G), abs(R−B), abs(G−B)} among grayscale differences (absolute values) between the corrected R, G, and B signals to a predetermined gray parameter to determine whether the input R, G, and B signals are signals of the gray area. When the maximum value among the grayscale differences between the input R, G, and B signals is smaller than the gray parameter, thepreprocessor 10 may extract the corresponding R, G, and B signals as the signals of the gray area. Thepreprocessor 10 may locate the R, G, and B signals extracted as the signals of the gray area on a basic hue axis Axis0 to prevent the luminance, the hue, and the saturation from being changed during subsequent color gamut mapping processing and prevent occurrence of artifacts due to the change. - The
preprocessor 10 may extract the brightness value from the corrected R, G, and B signals. For example, thepreprocessor 10 may extract the maximum value among the corrected R, G, and B signals as the brightness value of the input image. - The
color space converter 20 may receive the R, G, and B signals from thepreprocessor 10 and convert the R, G, and B signals into YCbCr type image signals (hereinafter, Y, Cb, and Cr signals) including a luminance component Y, a chrominance component Cb, and a chrominance component Cr (S20). - For example, the
color space converter 20 may convert the R, G, and B signals into the Y, Cb, and Cr signals by using an RGB-to-YCbCr conversion function in which conversion coefficients (in International Telecommunication Union (ITU)-R Recommendation BT.2020) are applied as shown inEquation 1 below. The conversion coefficients applied toEquation 1 below may be changed. -
Y=0.2627×R+0.678×G+0.0593×B -
Cb=−0.1396×R−0.3603×G+0.5×B -
Cr=0.5×R−0.459×G−0.0402×B [Equation 1] - In other words, the
color space converter 20 may divide the R, G, and B signals into a luminance signal Y representing luminance information and chrominance signals Cb and Cr representing color information. Thecolor space converter 20 may output the Y, Cb, and Cr signals to thehue calculator 30. - The
hue calculator 30 may calculate a hue angle representing a hue value using the chrominance signals Cb and Cr among the image signals Y, Cb, and Cr supplied from the color space converter 20 (S30). - Referring to
FIG. 3 , a hue angle θ with respect to input Cb and Cr coordinates (Cbin, Crin) on a Cb-Cr plane refers to an angle between a Cb axis and a straight line L connecting the corresponding Cb and Cr coordinates (Cbin, Crin) from the origin. Thehue calculator 30 may calculate the hue angle θ with respect to the input Cb and Cr coordinates (Cbin, Crin) using an arc tangent function (a tan) of the Cb and Cr coordinates (Cbin, Crin) as shown in Equation 2 below. -
Hue(=θ)=a tan(Cbin,Crin) [Equation 2] - The
hue calculator 30 may output the image signals Y, Cb, and Cr supplied from thecolor space converter 20 and the calculated hue angle to the hueaxis selection unit 40. - The hue
axis selection unit 40 may select hue axes of an area in which the hue angle is located using the hue angle supplied from the hue calculator 30 (S40). - For example, 24 hue axes Ax0 to Ax23 located at 15 degree intervals may be assigned in a circular color area on the Cb-Cr plane shown in
FIG. 4 , and the circular color area may be divided into 24 control areas by the 24 hue axes Ax0 to Ax23. - The hue
axis selection unit 40 may select a first hue axis and a second hue axis in an area in which the supplied hue angle is located among the 24 hue axes Ax0 to Ax23. The second hue axis may have a greater hue angle than the first hue axis. - For example, as shown in
FIG. 4 , when a hue angle calculated by thehue calculator 30, that is, a straight line L of the input Cb, Cr coordinates, is located in an area between a hue axis Ax3 and a hue axis Ax4, the hueaxis selection unit 40 may select the hue axis Ax3 and the hue axis Ax4 as the first hue axis and the second hue axis in the corresponding control area, respectively. - The hue
axis selection unit 40 may output the image signals Y, Cb, and Cr and the hue angle, which are supplied from thehue calculator 30, and two hue axes, which are selected to correspond to the hue angle, to theparameter calculator 50. - The
parameter calculator 50 may calculate a plurality of parameters using the two hue axes supplied from the hueaxis selection unit 40 and the hue angle (S50). Theparameter calculator 50 may calculate a plurality of parameters using the parameters, which are set to correspond to the two hue axes supplied from the hueaxis selection unit 40, and the supplied hue angle. - The parameters calculated by the
parameter calculator 50 may include saturation parameters for saturation control and hue parameters for hue control. - The circular color area on the Cb-Cr plane may be divided into a plurality of control areas by a plurality of hue axes according to the hue angle, and the hue and the saturation may be independently adjusted in each control area using the parameters individually assigned to each of the plurality of hue axes. Further, each of the control areas divided by the hue axes may be further divided into a plurality of saturation control areas in order to control the saturation differently according to a saturation value. Furthermore, each of the control areas divided by the hue axes may be further divided into a plurality of hue control areas in order to control the hue differently according to the saturation value.
- For example, as shown in
FIG. 4 , the circular color area on the Cb-Cr plane may be divided into 24 control areas by the 24 hue axes Ax0 to Ax23 according to the hue angle. As shown inFIG. 5 , each of the control areas may be further divided into first to fourthsaturation control areas 52L, 52M1, 52M2, and 52H according to the saturation value corresponding to a length of a straight line L from the origin. Further, as shown inFIG. 6 , each of the control areas may be further divided into first and secondhue control areas - In a register used by the
parameter calculator 50, a first saturation control point SCP_LM, a second saturation control point SCP_MM, a third saturation control point SCP_MH, and a hue control point HCP, which are preset, are stored. The first saturation control point SCP_LM refers to a saturation value that distinguishes a firstsaturation control area 52L corresponding to a low saturation area from a second saturation control area 52M1 corresponding to a first intermediate saturation area. The second saturation control point SCP_MM refers to a saturation value that distinguishes a second saturation control area 52M1 corresponding to the first intermediate saturation area from a third saturation control area 52M2 corresponding to a second intermediate saturation area whose saturation is greater than the first intermediate saturation area. The third saturation control point SCP_MH refers to a saturation value that distinguishes the third saturation control area 52M2 from a fourthsaturation control area 52H corresponding to a high saturation area. The hue control point HCP refers to a saturation value that distinguishes the firsthue control area 54L corresponding to a low saturation area for hue control from the secondhue control area 54H corresponding to a high saturation area for hue control. The first saturation control point SCP_LM, the second saturation control point SCP_MM, the third saturation control point SCP_MH, and the hue control point HCP may be adjustable by a designer according to display characteristics. - The parameters, which are each set to correspond to one hue axis and are stored in registers, may include a first saturation parameter corresponding to the first
saturation control area 52L, a second saturation parameter corresponding to the second saturation control area 52M1, a third saturation parameter corresponding to the third saturation control area 52M2, a fourth saturation parameter corresponding to the fourthsaturation control area 52H, a first hue parameter corresponding to the firsthue control area 54L, and a second hue parameter corresponding to the secondhue control area 54H. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , theparameter calculator 50 may linearly interpolate a parameter Parameter_axis(n−1) of a first hue axis Ax(n−1) (n is a positive integer) and a parameter Parameter_axis(n) of a second hue axis Ax(n) using angle differences d(n−1) and d(n) between a supplied hue angle Target and a corresponding hue axis as shown in Equation 3 below to calculate a linearly interpolated parameter Parameter_result as a gain for controlling the saturation and hue of the supplied Cb and Cr signals. -
Parameter_result=d(n−1)×Parameter_axis(n)+d(n)×Parameter_axis(n−1) [Equation 3] - In Equation 3 above, Parameter_axis(n−1) denotes the parameter set to the first hue axis Ax(n−1) and Parameter_axis(n) denotes the parameter set to the second hue axis Ax(n). d(n−1) denotes an angle difference between the supplied hue angle Target and the first hue axis Ax(n−1) and d(n) denotes an angle difference between the second hue axis Ax(n) and the supplied hue angle Target. The parameters of each hue axis may include a saturation parameter and a hue parameter.
- For example, the
parameter calculator 50 may linearly interpolate a first saturation parameter set to the first hue axis Ax(n−1) and a first saturation parameter set to the second hue axis Ax(n) as shown in Equation 3 above to calculate a first saturation gain to be applied to the supplied Cb and Cr signals. Theparameter calculator 50 may linearly interpolate a second saturation parameter set to the first hue axis Ax(n−1) and a second saturation parameter set to the second hue axis Ax(n) as shown in Equation 3 above to calculate a second saturation gain to be applied to the supplied Cb and Cr signals. Theparameter calculator 50 may linearly interpolate a third saturation parameter set to the first hue axis Ax(n−1) and a third saturation parameter set to the second hue axis Ax(n) as shown in Equation 3 above to calculate a third saturation gain to be applied to the supplied Cb and Cr signals. Theparameter calculator 50 may linearly interpolate a fourth saturation parameter set to the first hue axis Ax(n−1) and a fourth saturation parameter set to the second hue axis Ax(n) as shown in Equation 3 above to calculate a fourth saturation gain to be applied to the supplied Cb and Cr signals. - The
parameter calculator 50 may linearly interpolate a first hue parameter set to the first hue axis Ax(n−1) and a first hue parameter set to the second hue axis Ax(n) as shown in Equation 3 above to calculate a first hue gain to be applied to the supplied Cb and Cr signals. Theparameter calculator 50 may linearly interpolate a second hue parameter set to the first hue axis Ax(n−1) and a second hue parameter set to the second hue axis Ax(n) as shown in Equation 3 above to calculate a second hue gain to be applied to the supplied Cb and Cr signals. - The
parameter calculator 50 may output the image signals Y, Cb, and Cr, which are supplied from the hueaxis selection unit 40, and the first to fourth saturation gains and the first and second hue gains, which are calculated by theparameter calculator 50, to thesaturation controller 60. - The
saturation controller 60 may control the saturation of the chrominance signals Cb and Cr supplied from theparameter calculator 50 using at least one of the first to fourth saturation gains calculated by the parameter calculator 50 (S60). Thesaturation controller 60 may determine a saturation control area, in which the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr are located, and apply the corresponding saturation gain for each saturation control area according to the determined saturation control area to control the saturation of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr. - The
saturation controller 60 calculates a saturation value Sat of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr, that is, a saturation value Sat corresponding to a length of a straight line to the coordinates of the chrominance signals Cb and Cr from the origin, as shown in Equation 4 below. -
Sat=√{square root over (Cb 2 +Cr 2)} [Equation 4] - The
saturation controller 60 may determine which area the chrominance signals Cb and Cr are located in among the first to fourth saturation control areas, by comparing the saturation value of the chrominance signals Cb and Cr to the first to third saturation control points SCP_LM, SCP_MM, and SCP_MH and may adjust the saturation of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr by applying the corresponding saturation gain among the first to fourth saturation gains to the determined saturation control area. - The
saturation controller 60 may control the saturation of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr by respectively applying different first to fourth saturation gains to the saturation of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr according to the first to fourthsaturation control areas 52L, 52M1, 52M2, and 52H (seeFIG. 5 ) divided by the first to third saturation control points SCP_LM, SCP_MM, and SCP_MH. - When the saturation value of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr is less than or equal to the first saturation control point SCP_LM, the
saturation controller 60 may determine that the chrominance signals Cb and Cr are located in the firstsaturation control area 52L (seeFIG. 5 ) and may control the saturation of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr by applying (multiplying) the first saturation gain of the firstsaturation control area 52L to (and) the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr. - When the saturation value of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr is greater than the first saturation control point SCP_LM and is less than or equal to the second saturation control point SCP_MM, the
saturation controller 60 may determine that the chrominance signals Cb and Cr are located in the second saturation control area 52M1 (seeFIG. 5 ) and may control the saturation of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr by summing a value obtained by applying (multiplying) the first saturation gain of the firstsaturation control area 52L to (and) the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr for each saturation control area and a value obtained by applying (multiplying) the second saturation gain of the second saturation control area 52M1 to (and) the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr for each saturation control area. - For example, the
saturation controller 60 may divide the saturation value Sat of the chrominance signals Cb and Cr located in the second saturation control area 52M1 (seeFIG. 5 ) into a first saturation value SCP_LM of the firstsaturation control area 52L and a second saturation value (Sat−SCP_LM) of the second saturation control area 52M1. - The
saturation controller 60 may precisely control and output the saturation of the chrominance signals Cb and Cr for each saturation control area by summing a value obtained by applying (multiplying) the first saturation gain of the firstsaturation control area 52L to (and) the first saturation value SCP_LM of the firstsaturation control area 52L and a value obtained by applying (multiplying) the second saturation gain of the second saturation control area 52M1 to (and) the second saturation value (Sat−SCP_LM) of the second saturation control area 52M1. - When the saturation value of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr is greater than the second saturation control point SCP_MM and is less than or equal to the third saturation control point SCP_MH, the

saturation controller 60 may divide the saturation value Sat of the chrominance signals Cb and Cr located in the third saturation control area 52M2 into a first saturation value SCP_LM of the firstsaturation control area 52L, a second saturation value (SCP_MM−SCP_LM) of the second saturation control area 52M1, and a third saturation value (Sat−SCP_MM) of the third saturation control area 52 M2. - The
saturation controller 60 may precisely control and output the saturation of the chrominance signals Cb and Cr for each saturation control area by summing all of the value obtained by applying (multiplying) the first saturation gain of the firstsaturation control area 52L to (and) the first saturation value SCP_LM of the firstsaturation control area 52L, the value obtained by applying (multiplying) the second saturation gain of the second saturation control area 52M1 to (and) the second saturation value (SCP_MM−SCP_LM) of the second saturation control area 52M, and the value obtained by applying (multiplying) the third saturation gain of the third saturation control area 52M2 to (and) the third saturation value (Sat−SCP_MM) of the third saturation control area 52M2. - When the saturation value of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr is greater than the third saturation control point SCP_MH, the
saturation controller 60 may determine that the chrominance signals Cb and Cr are located in the fourthsaturation control area 52H (seeFIG. 5 ) and may control the saturation of the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr for each saturation control area by summing a value obtained by applying (multiplying) the first saturation gain of the firstsaturation control area 52L to (and) the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr, a value obtained by applying (multiplying) the second saturation gain of the second saturation control area 52M1 to (and) the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr, a value obtained by applying (multiplying) the third saturation gain of the third saturation control area 52M2 to (and) the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr, and a value obtained by applying (multiplying) the fourth saturation gain of the fourthsaturation control area 52H to (and) the supplied chrominance signals Cb and Cr. - The
saturation controller 60 may divide the saturation value Sat of the chrominance signals Cb and Cr located in the fourthsaturation control area 52H into a first saturation value (SCP_LM) of the firstsaturation control area 52L, a second saturation value (SCP_MM−SCP_LM) of the second saturation control area 52M1, a third saturation value (SCP_MH−SCP_MM) of the third saturation control area 52M2, and a fourth saturation value (Sat−SCP_MH) of the fourthsaturation control area 52H. - The
saturation controller 60 may precisely control and output the saturation of the chrominance signals Cb and Cr for each saturation control area by summing all of the value obtained by applying (multiplying) the first saturation gain of the firstsaturation control area 52L to (and) the first saturation value (SCP_LM) of the firstsaturation control area 52L, the value obtained by applying (multiplying) the second saturation gain of the second saturation control area 52M1 to (and) the second saturation value (SCP_MM−SCP_LM) of the second saturation control area 52M1, the value obtained by applying (multiplying) the third saturation gain of the third saturation control area 52M2 to (and) the third saturation value (SCP_MH−SCP_MM) of the third saturation control area 52M2, and the value obtained by applying (multiplying) the fourth saturation gain of the fourthsaturation control area 52H to (and) the fourth saturation value (Sat−SCP_MH) of the fourthsaturation control area 52H. - The
saturation controller 60 may output the Y signal and the first and second hue gains, which are supplied from theparameter calculator 50, the Cb and Cr signals whose saturation is adjusted by thesaturation controller 60 in the corresponding control area, and the saturation value, which is calculated by thesaturation controller 60, to thehue controller 70. - The
hue controller 70 may control the hue of the Cb and Cr signals supplied from thesaturation controller 60 using any one of the first and second hue gains according to the saturation value supplied from the saturation controller 60 (S70). - The
hue controller 70 may determine the hue control area by comparing the saturation value supplied from thesaturation controller 60 to the hue control point HCP and may control the hue of the Cb and Cr signals supplied from thesaturation controller 60 by applying the hue gain of the determined hue control area to the Cb and Cr signals supplied from thesaturation controller 60. - For example, when the saturation value supplied from the
saturation controller 60 is less than or equal to the hue control point HCP, thehue controller 70 may determine that the chrominance signals Cb and Cr are located in the firsthue control area 54L (seeFIG. 6 ), may select a first hue gain of the firsthue control area 54L supplied from thesaturation controller 60, and adjust the hue of the Cb and Cr signals by applying the selected first hue gain to the Cb and Cr signals supplied from thesaturation controller 60. - When the saturation value supplied from the
saturation controller 60 is greater than the hue control point HCP, thehue controller 70 may determine that the chrominance signals Cb and Cr are located in the secondhue control area 54H (seeFIG. 6 ), may select a second hue gain of the secondhue control area 54H supplied from thesaturation controller 60, and adjust the hue of the Cb and Cr signals by applying the selected second hue gain to the Cb and Cr signals supplied from thesaturation controller 60. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , thehue controller 70 may rotate supplied Cb and Cr signals Cbin and Crin by a hue control gain Hgain by applying the hue control gain Hgain selected according to the supplied saturation value and may output Cb and Cr signals Cbout and Crout whose hue is controlled. Thehue controller 70 may apply the hue control gain Hgain selected according to the supplied saturation value to the Cb and Cr signals Cbin and Crin supplied from thesaturation controller 60 with a cosine function and a sine function as shown in Equation 5 below and may output the Cb and Cr signals Cbout and Crout whose hue is controlled. -
Cb out =Cb in×cos(H gain)+Cr in×sin(H gain) -
Cr out =−Cb in×sin(H gain)+Cr in×cos(H gain) [Equation 5] - The
hue controller 70 may output the Y signal supplied from thesaturation controller 60 and the Cb and Cr signals whose saturation and hue are adjusted in the corresponding control area by thesaturation controller 60 and thehue controller 70 to theoverall controller 80. - The
overall controller 80 may control the luminance of the Y signal supplied from the hue controller 70 (S80). Theoverall controller 80 may entirely control the saturation and hue of the Cb and Cr signals supplied from thehue controller 70 without dividing the control area (S80). Theoverall controller 80 may additionally control the entirely controlled saturation of the Cb and Cr signals according to the brightness value of the image signal supplied from the preprocessor 10 (S80). - The
overall controller 80 may correct the R, G, and B signals by interpolating a preset luminance gain Yset in the register as shown in Equation 6 below according to the maximum value max{abs(R−G), abs(R−B), abs(G−B)} among the grayscale differences between the R, G, and B signals supplied from thepreprocessor 10. -
- In Equation 6 above, input denotes the maximum value max{abs(R−G), abs(R−B), abs(G−B)}) among the grayscale differences between the R, G, and B signals supplied from the
preprocessor 10 and corresponds to an input value corresponding to an X-axis of a luminance gain Ygain graph illustrated inFIG. 8 . Yset denotes the luminance gain set in the register. Ygainout denotes the interpolated luminance gain and denotes an output luminance gain corresponding to a Y-axis of a graph illustrated inFIG. 9 . - Referring to
FIG. 9 , it can be seen that, as the input value input of the X-axis corresponding to the maximum value max{abs(R−G), abs(R−B), abs(G−B)} among the grayscale differences between the R, G, and B signals increases, that is, as the maximum value among the grayscale differences increases from gray (0), in which all of the R, G, and B signals are identical to each other, to 255, the luminance gain Ygainout interpolated according to Equation 6 above is gradually reduced from a maximum value, 127, of the luminance gain to a minimum value, 107, of the luminance gain, which is the value set in the register. - The
overall controller 80 may control the Y signal by applying the interpolated luminance gain Ygainout to the Y signal supplied from thehue controller 70. - Accordingly, it is possible to express the luminance, such as a gradation in the gray area, reduce a luminance step between the gray area and other grayscale areas, and prevent a contour phenomenon, such as color aggregation in the gray area, thereby improving color accuracy.
- In order to entirely control the saturation and hue of the Cb and Cr signals supplied from the
hue controller 70, the overall parameters that may entirely control all the control areas, that is, the overall saturation gains that may entirely control the saturation of all the control areas and the overall hue gains that may entirely control the hue of all the control areas, are preset and stored in the register. - The
overall controller 80 may entirely control the saturation once more by applying (multiplying) the overall saturation gains to (and) the Cb and Cr signals supplied from thehue controller 70. Theoverall controller 80 may entirely control the hue once more by applying the overall hue gains to the Cb and Cr signals whose saturation is controlled by applying the overall saturation gains, as shown in Equation 5 above. - The
overall controller 80 may additionally control the entirely controlled saturation of the Cb and Cr signals according to the brightness value of the image signals R, G, and B supplied from thepreprocessor 10, that is, according to the brightness value using the maximum value among the grayscale differences between the R, G, and B signals. - In order to control the saturation according to the brightness value, saturation gains corresponding to a plurality of brightness values may be preset and stored in the register. For example, the saturation gains corresponding to brightness values of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% may be set and stored in the register.
- The
overall controller 80 may calculate the saturation gain corresponding to the brightness value which is not set in the register by interpolating the saturation gain set using the maximum value among the grayscale differences between the R, G, and B signals. - The
overall controller 80 may further control the saturation of the Cb and Cr signals according to the brightness of the input image signal by applying the saturation gain according to the brightness value which is set in the register or calculated by the interpolation process to the Cb and Cr signals whose saturation is entirely controlled. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent color fading that occurs when color gamut tuning is performed based on the brightness value of 100%, thereby improving color accuracy. - The
overall controller 80 may output the Y signal whose luminance is adjusted by theoverall controller 80 and the Cb and Cr signals whose saturation and hue are entirely and further adjusted by theoverall controller 80 to the colorspace inverse converter 90. - The color
space inverse converter 90 may inversely convert the Y, Cb, and Cr signals supplied from theoverall controller 80 into R, G, and B signals and may output the converted R, G, B signals (S90). - For example, the color
space inverse converter 90 may inversely convert the Y, Cb, and Cr signals into R′, G′, and B′ signals by using a YCbCr-to-RGB conversion function in which conversion coefficients (in BT.2020) are applied as shown in Equation 7 below. The conversion coefficients applied to Equation 7 below may be changed. -
R=Y+1.4746×Cr -
G=Y−0.1645×Cb−0.5714×Cr -
B=Y+1.8814×Cb [Equation 7] - As described above, in the color gamut mapping method and the color
gamut mapping device 600 according to the embodiment, the input image signals may be divided into the luminance component Y and the chrominance components Cb and Cr, and the image signals mapped to the target color gamut of the corresponding display device may be output by controlling the luminance component Y and controlling the saturation and hue of the chrominance components Cb and Cr. - In the color gamut mapping method and the color
gamut mapping device 600 according to the embodiment, the control area may be divided into 24 control areas by 24 hue axes, and the hue and the saturation may be independently adjusted in each control area using the parameters individually assigned to each of the 24 hue axes. - In the color gamut mapping method and the color
gamut mapping device 600 according to the embodiment, each of the control areas divided by the hue axes may be further divided into four saturation control areas having different saturation gains according to the saturation value, the saturation may be precisely controlled for each saturation control area, and thus the accuracy of saturation tuning can be improved. - In the color gamut mapping method and the color
gamut mapping device 600 according to the embodiment, each of the control areas divided by the hue axes may be further divided into two hue control areas having different hue gains according to the saturation value, the hue may be precisely controlled for each hue control area, and thus the accuracy of saturation tuning can be improved. - In the color gamut mapping method and the color
gamut mapping device 600 according to the embodiment, by entirely controlling the chrominance components Cb and Cr whose saturation and hue are once more controlled for each control area without dividing the area by applying the overall saturation gains and the overall hue gains, the accuracy of color gamut mapping may be further improved by reducing an error range of the color gamut mapping, and a color gamut mapping time may be reduced as compared to the case of additional control for each control area, and a minimum number of control signals may be used, and thus the color gamut mapping may be efficiently processed. - In the color gamut mapping method and the color
gamut mapping device 600 according to the embodiment, it is possible to interpolate the set luminance gain according to the maximum value among the grayscale differences between the input image signals R, G, and B, and control the luminance signal Y by applying the interpolated luminance gain to the luminance signal Y. Therefore, it is possible to express gray gradations, reduce the luminance step between gray levels, and prevent contour phenomena such as color aggregation in gray areas, thereby improving color accuracy. - In the color gamut mapping method and the color
gamut mapping device 600 according to the embodiment, by further controlling the entirely controlled saturation of the chrominance signals Cb and Cr according to the brightness of the input image signal, it is possible to prevent color fading and improve color accuracy. -

FIGS. 10A to 10C , it can be seen that, in comparison to an input image (seeFIG. 10A ) having a relatively low overall luminance, in an output image (seeFIG. 10B ) in which a color gamut is tuned by applying a set luminance gain in the related art, there is a problem in that color aggregation occurs in a gray gradation area of a sky part, whereas, in an output image (seeFIG. 10C ) in which a color gamut is tuned by applying an interpolated luminance gain according to grayscale differences between input image signals R, G, and B according to the embodiment, a color aggregation phenomenon is improved so that the gray gradation area of the sky part is expressed and color accuracy is improved. - The color
gamut mapping device 600 according to the embodiment may be applied to a display device, and thus the color accuracy of the display device can be improved. -

gamut mapping device 600 may entirely and further control the chrominance components Cb and Cr whose saturation and hue are controlled for each control area by applying the overall saturation gains and the overall hue gains, and thus an error range of the color gamut mapping may be reduced.
